If your PDF viewer accepts user input in logical order (which is the case in Windows and Linux), it should transform search arguments (captured from a user dialog) from logical to visual order before performing the search.

Hello Mati! Thanks for mentioning that. How would that work in the
case of a mixed RTL LTR search? Could you mention that on the bug (and
include your sig so they know that the argument carries some weight).
Thanks.
